grumble

[khatru]

Today started with me needing to take a migraine pill when my alarm for my 8am pills went off. At some point later, C came up to see if I needed to be awake, at which point I asked for food, please, so I could take the rest of my meds. I came up for air from the migraine around noon, with no food. I managed to get talking enough to ask for eggs, and came downstairs so I was functional for the 1pm call to cancel the trash pickup account.

Which went much easier, once they could get me on the line with someone. Whee.

Now I have to figure out what I can do with this migraine lurking.

• Received phone call and, finally, cancelled the trash pickup company I don't like.
  
• Had R create a receptacle for incoming income tax prep items.
  
• Resolved checkbook and bank (using online statement, go me) As I found back in the day, having spending money and bills come from the same account is dangerous.
  
• Called R down to use the debit card to pay off student loan. Aiieeeeee
  
• Failed, due to the debit card not having enough daily transfer to do so, and my having somehow not gotten the account number when I opened the account. wtf?
  
• Created a box for bills paid to date out of the shipping box for the leather checkbook cover and handbag that I ordered from Oberon Designs. Pretty, but could be better. And yes, expensive, but pretty. C did most of the work.
  
• Created a "done pile" container from a metal mesh phone stand I got from Staples years ago that we found in a pile still in the plastic wrap. (No, I don't know why I bought it, it was circa 2006).
  
• Figured out where to put them where they are both within reach and out of the general way.
  
• Opened recent mail, marked up notations on envelopes, sorted into inbox/record keeping.
  
• Found bank statement from account that student loan money was in, confirmed account number, to be paid. (aaiie, 9500, so much for having some unexpected money.)
  
• R cooked one of the keto recipes I found on the web. As is common so far, I like it, she doesn't. *sigh*
  

OH, and...

On Jan 19, I:

• Went to credit union and brought the home equity loan up to date, and then put enough money in the formerly joint account to pay the HEL monthly for 10 months, and set that up to happen automatically.
  
• Did some Ingress things while on RU campus
  
• Went to the optician and picked up my glasses. Which are driving me crazy, but I'm giving them a week.
